Count On Tools Inc. (COT), a leading provider of precision components
and SMT spare parts, announces the launch of PB Swiss Tools’ MecaTorque tools.
This new line of analog torque wrench screwdrivers is simple, reliable and safe
for application.

The new PB Swiss Tools MecaTorque torque tools can be used in a
multitude of ways. Thanks to their ergonomic handle construction and mechanical
design without electronics and without batteries, they are reliable and safe for
application. If needed, the handles can be adjusted: Users can adjust their
torque without additional tools. This is done by unlocking the turning cap at
the end of the handle, adjusting the desired value on the scale, and locking
the turning cap again.

The new MecaTorque handle is available in four variants that are
compatible with PB’s existing line of interchangeable blades and PrecisionBits.
The handle for the range from 10 - 50 Nm is tailored to precise work: It is
smaller and fits the interchangeable blades PB 53 for precision work. The larger handle is available in two
versions: One for use with PB 215 interchangeable blades and one for use with
C6 or E6 PrecisionBits. For high torques, the pistol-style handle provides
support for perfect use. It is ideally matched for the use of PB 225
interchangeable blades.

All handles of the MecaTorque consist of non-slip material and feature ergonomics
that are adjustable for various applications. The display on the analog scale
is available as a metric [Nm] and a non-metric [ft*lbf] design. The new
SwissGrip torque handles in ESD design ensure the discharge of electrostatic
charges as well as when working in ESD-protected areas.

According to PB Swiss Tools, “The Emmental company PB Swiss Tools makes
professionals more successful. Once again, the Swiss company is bringing a
sophisticated innovation to the market. Its new MecaTorque torque tools allow
safe, even and exact screw actions while working. Those using MecaTorque tools
for their work have a handle on their working processes. The inside of the new
products guarantees continuous, even tightening of screws with the specified
torque. The MecaTorque is guaranteed at all times, at any time and over many
years. Whether it is in manufacturing, assembly, electronics or any other application
areas.”

All of the torque handles are supplied with test certificate +/- 6
percent according to EN ISO 6789. PB Swiss Tools offers a warranty of three
years against manufacturing and material defects for all torque tools. The
MecaTorque is 100 percent developed and manufactured in Switzerland.

Tools Inc., a leading provider of precision components and SMT spare parts,
announces that PB Swiss Tools now offers
SAE Hex Key (allen keys) that are color-coded according to size and function in
its Rainbow assortment. The tools are distinctively differentiated from others;
thus they can be located faster in the toolbox, at the workplace or on the
construction site, and recognized easily, allocated correctly and used safely.

The
Rainbow® series allows users to quickly find the right hex key, thanks to
recognition of the sizes by color. The key sets feature precisely chamfered
corners for easy insertion into screws. Additionally, the Rainbow® series
provides absolute precision and the highest regularity with tolerances smaller
than a human hair.

Rainbow®
hex key sets are labeled with the serial number for additional security and to
enable tracing the production back to the raw material. The key sets are
chrome-plated with a powder-coated color finish for protection against
corrosion. PB hex keys feature a perfect-shaped ball-point end, allowing any
user to turn the screws with an angle of up to 30°. PB Swiss is the only
manufacturer to offer such a large angle for ball-point hex keys, making them
the most versatile for the user and very unique.

design for work on electrical devices. These convenient tools make it easy to
check screw tightening torques and fit comfortably in the hand, thanks to their

tightening of the screws for all electrical work up to 1000 volt AC / 1500 volt
DC. The blades are secured in the handle and are not removable like other
Torque tool models. This allows them to be coated for safe work on electrical
devices.

The PB
Swiss Tools MecaTorque VDE series is available in Phillips (#1 and #2),
Pozidriv (#1 and #2), Phillips/Slotted (#2) and Pozidriv/Slotted (#2) sizes.
The fixed connection of matching blade and handle guarantees a high degree of
